The extraordinary consumption OF goods is
having the effect of starting good many mills
full time, also of stimulating enIargements
and additional machinery.
The textile manufacturers all over the country
have been able to preserve a good equilibrium
between supply and demand. and, in conse-
quence, prices of all products are firmer than
they would have been otherwise The demand
is close up to the loom, and the lightness OF
stocks, especially in cotton goods, is stimulating
the demand for future requirements.
